Ok its taking a bit of a punt here, but am trying to find out what yr my old man played for Cas, it was sometime in the 30's and around the time you went to the challenge cup final in 35 i think that was
Does anyone know of anywhere I could get records of registered players from that era?

Obviously I can always try the club itself, if anybody would know who to talk to it would be appreciated

Good start to the season for yr lot!

I've got Len Garbett's book with full playing records for all 1st team players since the club was admitted to the senior competition up to the end of the 1985-86 season.

I'll look him up for you if you PM me his name and I can find the book!

There is a poster on here called stumain if anyone will have the records it will probably be him.

mickeyb1234, I'm about a week away from having the revamped site online but you can take a look at this page to see if he's listed. thecastlefordtigers.co.uk/alltime.php In any case, PM me his name as you may be able to fill in some blanks!

I didn't realise Atkinson and Sampson shared the most appearence record.
Anyone think Huby can beat it?

Every chance if he stays fit and sticks at Cas.

John Joyner has more with 613 appearances - so no I don't.

17 apparently. Didn't stop playing until he was 36/37. 20 years at Cas.

Daryl Clark may have a shot!

Huby has now made 160.

Excluding 2003, 2004 & 2011 he runs at an average of 24 per season.

Joyner is 1st with 613 so Huby would need to play to around 44 years of age.

Sampson and Atkinson 2= with 431

Harold Haley 10th with 338 so that might be a realistic target if he plays at Cas to 32/33 and stays relatively injury free.

JJ ran at an average of 30.65 games per season, every season, for 20 seasons.
Phenomenal achievement really.

Must remember tho that JJ had more opportunites than the guys do now.

JJ would have played in competitions such as the Yorkshire Cup, Regal Trophy, and others such as JP trophy, BBC Floodlit etc.

A good run in these comps all help towards what is a surely an unbeatable record in the modern game!

apparently Huby's dad is playing for Castleford Rugby Union team at propr, so Craig may well have the longevity in him.
